What are some of the annoying characteristics that all men have?

Question

Being a guy, I know what many of these characteristics are. I also know from watching and talking to other guys.
Some would be:
-Looking or wanting to look at other women (all men)
-Wanting to play video games, watch TV, and mess with computers too much (almost all men)
-Raising their voice during arguments (?)
-Not being able to cook or make good food choices (most men)
-Being a slob (more men than women)
-Problem solving for, rather than listening to their woman
-Viewing cheating as something they can do but not their woman (some awful men)
-Forgetting important dates, like birthdays, anniversaries, etc... (most men)
-Feeling fine about leaving their woman at home while he goes out with the guys (?)
-Complaining that their woman spends too much on shoes/stuff, then spending just as much or more on car, technology, video games (some men)
-Letting the woman do most of the work of caring for their young children (more men than women)

Answer 1

The biggest issue isn't whether a man has one of those traits or not. The issue is whether the says/pretends to be one way, then behaves in a way counter to what he says, or says he will change when he, in his heart of hearts, has no intention of changing.

Disingenuiness is an annoying trait, what you list (for the most part) are quirks.

Men act one way while courting, then another when married (too often, clearly not all).

Answer 2

I pick:
-Looking or wanting to look at other women (all men)
-Video games? I don't know, I love playing video games.
-Raising their voice during arguments (?)
-Problem solving for, rather than listening to their woman
-Viewing cheating as something they can do but not their woman (some awful men)
-Forgetting important dates, like birthdays, anniversaries, etc... (most men)
The ones I pick I think are true honestly, the rest really doesn't bother me.

Answer 3

That's a pretty good list you have going there...sounds like you know my fiance (I love him, but gosh, he's a slob!)

Probably the most annoying thing that my fiance does is show up at the dinner table to eat. I've already cooked the meal, done the dishes, and set the table. After dinner is over, he's back to whatever he was doing before. Most women just want some acknowledgement of how hard they work to maintain a household and keep a job, raise kids, etc.

We both work, and I understand that he's ready to relax. But it's like that line from The Break Up, "I don't want you to do the dishes, I want you to WANT to do the dishes."

Answer 4

I think if you added the "selective hearing" and "huge egos" that could wrap it up.

I myself am really bothered by the "letting woman do most of the caring for kids" and "slob" and "watching t.v., video games.. etc" and even though I watch the boob tube and play video games, me as a woman, i know when to stop.

GUYS DONT SOMETIMES

actually, i think all the traits you have listed REALLY bother me.. just some more than others..

and somehow the men i know, dont know how to care for themselves.. they need a woman around to do the cleaning, cooking and healthy food choices stuff..

Answer 5

Focus on the POSITIVES - we like to be loved, respected, and well provided for so we don't have to worry about bouncing checks or losing our homes or have to work 2-3 jobs. Calling when you're going to be late is really nice too. Or offering to pick up dinner on the way home, or rubbing her feet/shoulders/back - any of those!
Johnny Depp made a movie a few years called something like "Don Juan DeMarco", check it out. The movie shows how women react when they are treated well.

Answer 6

Jeez, I have to argue some of these.

1. I cook better than my wife HANDS DOWN.
2. I stay home ALL of my free time while it's Mom's night out.
3. I do dishes and laundry.
4. I won't cheat. My wife doesn't so why should I. If I win the Lotto it will be divorce and Aidios because she can be a *****, but I won't cheat while married.

Rest of it can apply to various degrees.

Answer 8

Not being able to multitask. They can't drive and participate in a coversation at the same time. They can't read a magazine and have a chat. I'm always having to repeat things. At least he admits that he didn't hear me instead of just pretending like he did.

Answer 9

I've got an annoying trait that all men have: Awesomeness.

Seriously bro, why are you selling us out? Trying to get some on yahoo answers or something? It won't work.
